I have a question about the DACs in the player. I use the 7.1 analog outs because my SSP doesn't have HDMI. So I know the DACs are 32/216 but what is the resolution actually output with the different audio formats? Is it always the highest resolution of the DACs or is it relative to the audio format i.e. 44.1/16 for CD's, typically 48/24 I think for TrueHD/Master Audio, typically 96/24 for DVD-A, etc. I'm just curious what my SSP is seeing in terms of resolution.

The output is analog, so it doesn't have a "resolution". The Oppo players don't do any sort of upconversion or downconversion* before doing the digital to analog conversion, so the conversion is done using whatever the input resolution is.

* The only conversion of the digital signal that happens is when the player converts DSD to LPCM.

My DENON a1ud, al32 blue light has stopped working, can anyone tell me, if I'm using hdmi for the sound from bd discs, do I need the al32 light working?
Or is al32 processing just for component connections?

Anyone having issues playing Jurassic World? When the menu loads as soon as I go to interact with it it disappears and I can't get it back and the player won't play the movie either by pressing Play or Enter. Neither pressing Menu or Top Menu will bring the menu back. This is only the 2nd Blu-ray I've run into an issue with and the 1st with this particular issue. The other disc my player won't properly play is World War Z. It gets to a particular point early in the movie and just freezes.

Hi Rod, i have just done a test on my Jurassic World Blu ray dvd and my menu is fine. When i interact with the menu i have no problems. Mine is a region B for Australia, although i have a problem with a standard dvd being Paul Mccartneys "back in the us" sometimes it plays it and sometimes it wont.Its a real picky player and the load times are slow too. I am thinking of getting a new PM dvd and seeing if that fixes my problem.Please post your results if you find any as i for one will be interested in hearing what the problem could be.

Thanks, mine is region A. I'm going to try it in my PS3 and Xbox One. At least I have alternatives. The downside being if I use either of them I can't get the HD audio into my SSP because it doesn't have HDMI. I need 5.1 analog to do that.

if the main movie menu appears try starting the movie with chapter 1 instead of hitting play

Grassy I have a question for you
I have had my A1UDCI for a while now and there seems to be no fix i am aware of for it to play movies made by fox studios
do you know of any firmware updates that fix that issue eather from uk or any other part of the world
it seems no matter how old the movies is when you put one in from fox studios it says a upgrade needs to happen before the movie will work. i find it odd that they never bothered toi update it since they still try to pawn off refurbished models

Hi Rob, i am totally unaware of any firmware upgrades that are for that particular problem. Have you tried playing one off those discs while not connected to the internet, And also try resetting the machine to factory settings if it is possible, (although i have never done so myself it may be possible).It might pay to get it looked at and see what needs to be done to it and how much it will cost as if it is not playing Fox Studio movies then its not worth keeping it in that condition. I for one would start looking at my options as to how to fix the problem and how much it is going to cost me.

Well the ugly feeling of a new drive is starting to creep in to my gut. This was what i was afraid that might be the case.

Certainly possible. Other movies continue to function properly. I've already replaced the laser unit once when my red laser became extremely unreliable not playing most discs. I will not be replacing a 2nd time though.

I have just noticed my clock control light is not on even though i have d link 4th enabled and have been trying to get it to come on but to no avail.I also have my hdmi control set to on.I am using the AVP also Does anyone know a good checking procedure to see if i can get it working.

Finally got it working again. Don't know what i did to get it to work again or how but it seemed to fix itself when i turned everything off then the next day it was working.I must admit it is a touchy player.

I just ran into another issue with the player not being able to play a movie. This time it's with Warcraft. It's the exact same issue I have with Jurassic World, the player is completely unresponsive once the menu pops up. Warcraft is a Universal film as is Jurassic World.

G'day Rod, good to see you still have the A1.Is your player playing cd,s and normal DVDs,s.Do you get any other problems.My player is unresponsive at times too and off late I have not been able to play "The boy in the stripped pyjamas" on normal dvd.Sometimes it plays it and sometimes it will not.Very inconsistent.If I put another DVD in and get it playing and then stop it and then put in "The boy in the stripped pyjamas" then it plays it.If I put in the BITSP from a fresh dvda1ud startup it won't play it. Try another disc that works first and then try Jurassic world straight after and see what happens.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. In both instances I have had the issue with Jurassic World and Warcraft it would have been from a fresh power on.

I do occasionally have issues with DVD's and SACD's. I have a couple Bon Jovi SACD's (or possibly they are DVD-A's, I can't remember which off hand) the player won't play.

How did you go Rod,my blurays are fine as it's just DVDs and the odd cd that poses a problem for me but not often enough to want to change players.I do believe Denon missed the boat a little with this player. Great video and audio and to the highest standard but the operational side off things is none other than poor.I honestly think they released this player too soon and was not quite ready especially in the drive department.Too much of the same problems going on for everyone.I have read this whole thread from start to finish and I am convinced Denon could have done even better with this machine.If these annoying problems were not there to the extent that they were then I could justify the price tag.I don't regret buying it but I would never do it again.Its just too all over the place sometimes I don't know if I am coming or going with this machine and if it is going to work or not.I spoke to a demon rep about this and had him at my home and showed him some off the problems with this machine and he had no answer to them.Brand new discs not playing just seems a little weird to me especially when we all are having the same problems while other machines play them.I have put this down to experience
